Paul Offit, MD continues his crusade to educate parents about the importance of childhood vaccines. He maintains that the mercury based preservative found in vaccines had not been conclusively shown to contribute to autism, despite the fact so many believe otherwise. Paul Offit says the real tragedy will be the fact that by avoiding immunizations, many parents will be exposing their children to life-threatening, yet preventable, childhood illnesses.
Paul Offit has stated that the scientific evidence proving that vaccines are in no way associated with autism is conclusive. Several medical studies have consistently supported his position. Offit is currently the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
